Has anyone been seriously looking into building in PAM support in eLog? I ask because I have started reading the developer papers from Sun and looking at sample code.

Tell you what, I'm looking at two items related to eLog -- tell me to stop if you want:

forkpty() emulation for Solaris
PAM support

I'm furthur ahead on the forkpty() - just trying to figure out exactly where to place the code. Once I know it works then I can give it to you to incorporate. Unless you want what I have now and you can work on it.

I've also got quite a bit of reference code for PAM support. A little more daunting.

svn revision number in the source

There is a variable $Id$ in source that looks like it is supposed to reflect the svn revision number of the compiled code. How is this supposed to be set, manually just before compiling?

Thanks!

It gets set automatically on every commit to the Subversion repository.

So, when we go to the download section and download directly from there, that is not "committed" source? I ask because the revision id there is not set to anything that I can see.

Can you be a bit more specific? What do you download? The Windows binaries, the Linux RPM? Or from the Subversion repository? The current version in the repository, which you can download here, contains in the file elogd.c following line 8:

   $Id: elogd.c 1660 2006-02-17 19:48:12Z ritt $

This tells you that this is revision 1660, committed on Feb. 17 by myself. So what is the problem?

Ok, this is really strange but just an hour ago I clicked on the http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download.html link and I was taken to a completely different webview - in fact, I am quite sure that at the bottom right corner it said "WebCVS"! Now, it says WebSVN and the revision info is in there. I've been trying to debug a problem with default.css and the elcode icons - and somewhere in there I cleared my firefox cache. Perhaps an old page was cached????

I have no idea how I got to CVS, and it make sense that CVS was not setting the SVN revision code.
Sorry to botter you on this.
